Koat pitha.
Koat pitha from the beautiful state Mizoram. A delicious sweet fritter made with banana, rice flour and jaggery.

After Meghalaya sharing a recipe from Mizoram, one of the state of seven sisters state of India.
The Seven Sister States is a popular term for the contiguous states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura prior to inclusion of the state of Sikkim into the North Eastern Region of India.

Mizoram is a state in northeastern India, with Aizawl as its capital city. The name is derived from “Mizo”, the name of the native inhabitants, and “Ram”, which means land, and thus Mizoram means “land of the Mizos”. Within the northeast region, it is the southernmost landlocked state, sharing borders with three of the Seven Sister States, namely Tripura, Assam and Manipur.
Rice is the staple food of Mizoram, while Mizos love to add non-vegetarian ingredients in every dish. Fish, chicken, pork and beef are popular meats among Mizos. Dishes are served on fresh banana leaves. Most of the dishes are cooked in mustard oil.

This soft inside and crisp outside koat pitha is very easy to make. Just mash the banana well with jaggery powder, mix rice flour and make fitters with it. Serve when cool. I love cardamom and jaggery mixed flavour so added cardamom powder. But if you want authentic taste then you can omit cardamom powder.

    This sweet treat is really delicious, I can vouch for that as I’d made it for the Arunachal Pradesh cuisine. It seems to be very popular in the NE states.

    Regional Indian Cuisine is so unique and similar in their own ways. Like the North East – Mizo Cuisine, we Keralites make our Appams with similar ingredients and ghee. I am sure I would enjoy this lovely dessert very much!

          And in Assam it called kol pitha because banana is called kol in Assamese language.

    We make a similar version but with whole wheat flour. This looks absolute yum and I believe with rice flour it would even add crunch. Yum.

      In UP we make a similar kind called pue but wheat flour.. it is good option for those who want to avoid gluten in their diets. Appam from south or Kota pita from northeast so much similarity with diversity in the cuisine.. lovely share and these look so tempting
